Sink your teeth into this franchise's signature glazed doughnut, and don't be afraid to indulge in its many varieties of deep-fried perfection. – In Short
In 1937, Vernon Rudolph brought a secret recipe from a French chef to North Carolina, creating the infamous irresistible treat and starting a glazed doughnut revolution. These scrumptious doughy delights are brushed with a sugar coating, and have been know to cause even the most dedicated hard-bodies to temporarily abandon their diet. Evolving past the original glaze recipe, today customers can now choose from a variety of lip smacking treats, from apple fritter to New York cheesecake doughnuts. The international company still holds to its roots, providing welcoming and helpful service while perfecting its craft at making melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces.
Why Goto A Chain? – Why goto a chain which uses dough filled with enough air to set you afloat? Goto one of the smaller mom and pop donut shops, and bite into a donut which has some substance to it. KK donuts are too sweet, have no dough, and are over-rated. A real "western" donut like a devils food or maple bar will statisfy you through and through.
The best doughnuts – What can you say??? They are the best donuts in the world. After moving from Altanta to Vegas, we were pleasantly surprised to find KK chains everywhere. Who can resist?? Pick up a box and enjoy!
An Attraction as well – In the Excalibur Hotel & Casino, this branch blends in well with the sites and sounds of this family oriented resort. Located in the Food Court, children can watch donuts being freshly made while munching on there Happy Meals from McDonald's.
best – i was so glad that krispy kreme came to the west coast. I love all of there doughnuts. They are far better than winchells, because of the way they are made.
The Truth – Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are the best we've had good times.I even have a nickname for them I call them KK for short.
Nasty Candy Doughnuts – Krispy Kreme has the worst doughnuts I have ever tasted. Vons makes better, more realistic doughnuts.
THE BEST DOUGHNUTS!!!!!! – Luckily for us we stayed next door the to Excalibur
hotel, where they have a Krispy Kreme shop inside that hotel. Everything they have tastes GREAT!!!!
Heaven On Earth – I was recently in Las Vegas and had the opportunity to sample several of these light as an angel doughnuts. Know I can finally say my life is complete. We are in the process of waiting for a Krispy Kreme to be finished in the city that I work and I will definitely be a frequent customer!
Can't have just one – Drive up window, glazed donuts that literally melt in your mouth and they take debit cards. What else is there to say?

i belive you must go to a mosque whenyou say the shahada so it can be gurenteed you say it right and also the mosque gives you useful information like how to pray and what to abstain from and what is halal and haram, prohibited and allowed then your a muslim and post congrats!!!! may allah guide you to the right path

The angel Jibril came to the Prophet once, disguised as a man, and asked him to explain Islam (along with other aspects of the religion) while his companions witnessed. Narrated through many reliable sources, this is known as the Hadith of Jibril. The relevant section goes something like this:
A muslim is just someone who accepts these five Pillars of Islam; there is no ritual involved or "right way" to convert to Islam. Just reciting the Shahadah (i.e., "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah") to another muslim is enough to let them know that you have accepted Islam for yourself. This may be done in Arabic (laa ilaha illa-llah muhammadur-rasuulu-llah) but it's the meaning and intent that is important.
Beyond that, finding a local mosque or muslim community that performs the regular prayers is the best way to learn the basics of the religion, such as how to establish prayer.

Serves 10
Big, sweet summer berries are the heart and soul of this classic pie. The filling is thickened with just enough flour that the pie can be sliced without the filling running out. The lattice top is easy to put together if you construct it on a piece of parchment. Then you simply invert the lattice onto the pie, trim, crimp, and bake.
Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly to combine. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the pieces are slightly larger than pea-size, 10 to 12 pulses. Drizzle the water and lemon juice evenly over the flour mixture. Pulse until the dough forms moist crumbs that just begin to clump together, 8 or 9 more pulses.
Dump the moist crumbs onto two large overlapping pieces of plastic wrap and gather into a pile. With the heel of your hand, push and gently smear the dough away from you, rotating the plastic so you smear a different section each time, until the crumbs come together; 2 or 3 smears should do it. Divide the dough in half (about 12 oz. for each piece); shape one piece into a 5-inch disk and the other into a 4x6-inch rectangle. Wrap each tightly in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days (or freeze for up to 1 month).
Position a rack in the center of the oven and set a foil-lined heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet on the rack. Heat the oven to 425°F.
Remove the rectangle of dough from the refrigerator; if it's very firm, let it sit at room temperature until it's pliable enough to roll, 10 to 20 minutes. (If the disk of dough is also very firm, let it sit at room temperature while you make the lattice.)
On lightly floured parchment, roll the dough with a floured rolling pin into a 9-1/2 x14-1/2-inch rectangle that's 1/8 inch thick. Roll from the center of the dough to the edges and try to use as few passes as possible to avoid overworking the dough. After every few passes, run an offset spatula or bench knife under the dough to be sure it isn't sticking, and give the dough a quarter turn. Reflour the parchment and the rolling pin only as needed—excess flour can make the crust tough.
Using a fluted pastry wheel or a chef's knife, trim the dough into a 9x14-inch rectangle. With the wheel or knife, cut 12 strips of dough that are 14-inches long and 3/4-inch wide. If at any point while making the lattice the dough becomes too soft to work with, slide the parchment onto a cookie sheet and chill the dough until firm.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Arrange 6 of the dough strips horizontally 3/4-inch apart; these will be the "bottom" strips.
Fold back every other bottom strip to the left slightly more than halfway. Slightly left of center, lay down one "top" strip vertically over the bottom strips, dabbing the bottom strips with a wet finger where the top strip will overlap them. Dab the top strip where the folded strips will overlap it, then unfold the strips. Fold back the other 3 bottom strips to the left. Lay a second top strip 3/4-inch to the right of the first, dabbing with water as before. These are the two center strips. Unfold the bottom strips. Repeat the process on both sides with the remaining top strips of dough.
Press gently where the strips overlap to seal. Loosely cover the lattice with plastic wrap and refrigerate on the cookie sheet while you roll out the bottom crust and make the filling.
On lightly floured parchment, roll the disk of dough into a 14-1/2-inch circle that's 1/8 inch thick.
Carefully and gently roll the dough around the rolling pin and position the pin over a 9-inch glass pie plate. Unroll, easing the dough into the pan. Gently press the dough against the side and bottom of the pan, being careful not to stretch or tear it, and allowing the excess dough to hang over the edges. Let sit at room temperature while assembling the filling.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, lemon zest and juice, and salt. Add 1 cup of the blueberries and crush them into the dry ingredients with a potato masher or fork to make a paste. Add the rest of the berries and toss to coat. Scrape the filling into the crust with a rubber spatula, spreading evenly.
Remove the lattice from the refrigerator. If it's stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Put your palm under the parchment at the center of the lattice. Lift the paper and invert the lattice onto the filling in a swift, smooth motion. Press the top and bottom edges together and trim both crusts so there's about a 3/4-inch overhang. Roll the overhang under itself to form a high edge of crust that rests on the rim of the pie plate. Using your fingers, crimp the dough into a fluted edge.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and 1 Tbs. water until blended. Using a small pastry brush, brush the egg mixture evenly over the lattice and edge, and then sprinkle generously with the coarse sugar.
Put the pie on the heated baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Bake until the edges are pale golden, about 30 minutes, then cover the edges with foil and continue to bake until the lattice is golden-brown and the filling is bubbling about 2-inches from the center, 80 to 90 minutes total. (If the lattice is golden-brown before the filling is bubbling, cover it loosely with foil.)
Let the pie cool on a rack to room temperature, about 3 hours, before serving. It's best eaten on the day it's made, but you can make it up to 1 day ahead and store it, covered when cool, at room temperature. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

6/21/2013This recipe solves a problem I have had with the sugar/thickener not dissolving and thus the blueberries looking dry with a lattice crust. Hubby and I agree this is the best tasting blueberry pie ever. I use a different crust recipe and weave 4 strips each way on a 9" pie.
by Dagnylovescooking,
1/28/2013My husband declared this the best blueberry pie he ever had. The technique of mashing one cup of blueberries into the sugar, flour mix was different. It produced no leaking when it was cut. I did add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, the slightest pinch of nutmeg and 1 tsp of vanilla to the mash mix. This pie is not overly sweet and some might want to up the sugar slightly. I used 3 pints of fresh blueberries. Not sure what country they came from. Since they are not in season now it might have been that they weren't that sweet. I'm sure in season would be sweeter.
Still thought it was fabulous.
by EricaMT,
7/3/2012This pie is a WINNER! It is BEAUTIFUL and I love to take it to cookouts and dinners because people are impressed and delighted by the pie's taste and appearance! I made this for a friend of mine who is a self proclaimed "connoisseur of pie" and he said it was the best he'd ever had. My boyfriend also loved it, which shocked us both since he doesn't usually care for pie. I had never made a lattice topped pie, and it came out perfect the first try! The lemon is a nice touch and I have found that I prefer to add extra zest and juice to the filling if the blueberries are on the sweeter side.
by TheMomChef,
6/28/2012Hubby claimed this the best blueberry pie he's ever eaten. The lattice trick worked perfectly and the crust tasted like dessert all by itself. The filling was delicious, the right consistency, and gorgeous. We loved this. You can view my full review at: http://bit.ly/OBNkLI
by cincybrat,
6/17/2012Outstanding blueberry pie filling. My husband and I and our guests all loved it. Not too sweet, just the right amount of flour for neat, not runny, slices, good idea to mash in some of the berries. I wove the lattice top the usual way--right on the filled pie--because it's so easy. The technique in the recipe seemed like a difficult solution in search of a problem.
by bellaginger,
5/27/2012Delicious! I only gave it 4 stars since I couldn't get the lattice top to work. I had a hard time getting 12 strips out of the top crust. Ended up throwing the lattice pieces out & made 1/2 recipe of the jumble berry pie crust and used it in the traditional manner. Looks great & slices perfectly. Very tasty!
by magalope,
5/14/2012Made this to take to a dinner party Saturday night and it was the best blueberry pie ever!
I did not do the lattice top, I used the streusel topping in the parfait recipe in the same article,
it was so good and so easy. This is a keeper!

UM looks for ET
By Sally Mauk
NASA recently awarded a 1.125 million dollar grant to researchers at the University of Montana to explore, among other things, whether there is life on other planets.
UM will join with three other universities around the country to take part in "Project Minerva", which will use an array of four telescopes to research so-called "exoplanets". UM Associate Professor of Astrophysics, Nate McCrady, will lead the effort in Missoula. In this feature interview, McCrady talks with News Director Sally Mauk about the study of exoplanets - planets that orbit stars other than the sun.
"Anybody can walk out and look up at the night sky...and think 'is there anyone looking back'?"

When you turn the vent cross over in the drawing you will be fine.
Below is an example of two story plumbing
I've read through a lot of different posts and I think I have came up with the correct venting and drain configuration. I'm not very good at drawing so hopefully it makes sense. My vanity, toilet and tub are all along the same wall that is about 10' feet long.
The main sewer line comes up directly under the wall behind the toilet. So the main line comes up and vents up through the wall behind the toilet. I think i need a double combination y-1/8 bend for the bottom drain and a san tee for the upper vent split.
One edit... the sanitary tee for the vent should be turned upside down. Not correct in picture
Thank you for spending the time to look at my question.

I have been told several times that the sanitary tee is acceptable to use for two drains into a vertical stack. I currently have a double y with two 45's for the drain. Would a sanitary tee be acceptable here?
A sanitary doube tee would work under the toilet, pretty common in fact.
Merlin Blue used to plumb his that way.
As you can see from my drawing, I like to keep the 2" lines tighter to the main stack, and then trap arm over with 1-1/2".
I use more wyes adn keep everything tighter.
That cuts up the framing less. The framers loved me and used to ask me why the others plumbers didn't do layout the way I did. The answer, they didn't car how much wood got taken out.
I appreciate the reply. Very helpful.
Thank you!

First look at the Obihai OBi100 VoIP device: Like the OBi110, but smaller and less expensive, and without the Line port

I might have missed this, but does any of the OBi ATAs support T38 protocol?

Correct me if I am wrong, but there shouldn't be any problem at all with plugging a multiple handset Cordless Phone System into the OBi100 would there? Cordless phones are more popular than "wired" phones these days and if my assumption is correct, would greatly expand the functionality of the OBi100 in a typical home situation.
Please share your thoughts on this.

Nice review, thanks. Any idea of when the Obi100 will come out? The Obi110 is all the rage and they can't keep it in stock thanks to all the buzz.

Thanks for the great information. Very helpful.

Thanks for your excellent reviews and tutorials.
The Obi110 reportedly requires a manual firmware update. Do you know if the new firmware for the Obi100 allows Obihai to push updates directly to its installed devices. My 2wire router conveniently takes this approach. It's one less item to think about.
Also, do you have any insight on what Google might do after 2011 regarding Google Voice? (The Obi110′s overwhelming popularity reflects Google Voice's pricing: free.) Judging from comments by Google's executives, they consider this service as a form of advertising, a way of maintaining customer goodwill and mindshare. Individuals who enjoy using the service at home for free are more likely to pay for the service at their businesses. (Google employs this same strategy in marketing Google Documents.) Sipgate echoes this mindset, offering their service free to single sip accounts, but charging when customers setup multiple sip accounts.
The only downside with this strategy: by facilitating mass defections from traditional telecom carriers, Google disrupts the FCC's longstanding, multibillion dollar telephone subsidies to rural carriers. In so doing, it makes it a target of FCC regulation, a fate which the company dreads. This explains why Google repeatedly states that Google Voice is only a call forwarding service. Obi's devices make this declaration seem ridiculous.
By the way, we have lawyers to thank for fax technology's longevity. It is still used over e-mail scanned attachments because a signature on a fax is legally binding, unlike e-mail attachments.

Michigantel – With all due respect, I have never heard of a 2wire router being bricked, and their devices employ automatic updates from a central server. The units have their shortcomings, but vulnerability to bricking is not one of them. Most likely, they have incorporated automatic firmware update within a ROM-based BIOS and make use of checkpoints, sanity checks, file checksums and the like to ensure that their devices always can communicate with their central server and never run corrupted code.
Conversely, when humans with very limited technical knowledge do firmware updates that encompass the device's BIOS, bricking inevitably occurs. Hopefully, Obihai's engineers made the Obi ATA's foolproof; there are lots of fools like myself around. I've applied two BIOS updates to my iMac and was holding my breath and crossing my fingers the entire time. This explains my desire to see automatic updates in Obihai's units.
February 26, 2011 @

Michigantel – For Google Voice, an incoming "call" is probably just an SS7 connection setup request. Google Voice's server then looks at the database entry associated with the GV number in the request and generates one or more SS7 connection setup request messages itself, ringing one or more phone numbers or forwarding the setup request to its voicemail servers. It's all very similar to Domain Name Server translation which Google also supports for free, (e.g. 126.96.36.199 & 22.214.171.124). In essence, Google Voice just processes SS7 messages and routes voice packets.
In my past life, I worked in the SS7 engineering group at GTE Sprint back in the earliest days of SS7 twenty-five years ago.

thanks you for a great review but OH how i wish OBi would have made this run with 5v instead of 12v as most laptops could provide enough power from a USB port (same for the OBi110) i have run my PAP2 from a laptops USB port even though you need ethernet it would make it a ROAD WARRIOR
March 7, 2011 @

Sorry I am new to VOIP, ATA, etc. Need help and thanks in advance.
I see many people talking Obihai in context of PBX, small business, asterix, etc.
I need a free US and India calling. Hence earlier I thought of buying NetTalk for US calls and go for "web based VOIP calls for India.
After I saw your article and similar ones on Obihai, interested to know if Obihai will be useful in my context and how do I use it?

text: Explore The Rockies Colorado Wyoming Montana Idaho Share Durango was founded in 1880 as a refining town and rail junction for Silverton, 45 miles north. Steam trains continue to run along the spectacular old mining route through the Animas Valley, though nowadays tourists, not sacks of gold, are the money-making cargo. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad runs up to three round-trips daily ($81–169 return; t 970/247-2733, w http://www.durangotrain.com) between May and October, from the depot at 479 Main Ave at the south end of town. The views from the train are spectacular as it chugs by rocky cliffs and through huddles of lush aspen, framed by the rugged Animas River below (the trains are slow, however; if you need to save time, you can return by bus).

What about Life, Bob?
ERIE Agent Bob Murray makes a difficult topic more approachable
June 24, 2009
By Mary Marz
Walk into just about any restaurant or coffee shop and the buzz of conversation fills the room.
Former college roommates reminiscing about old times. A couple planning a trip to Disney. Best friends retreading the most recent episode of "Idol" or "Top Chef" or "Survivor."
You know what they're probably not talking about? Life insurance.
It's one of those topics that most everyone agrees is important—but no one really wants to discuss. Why is that?
We took that question—and a few others—to Bob Murray. Easygoing and approachable, the 30-something has spent much of his life around insurance conversations. He's an ERIE Agent at Murray Insurance in Erie, Pa.
Like other ERIE Agents, he's the kind of guy who makes things like life insurance easier to talk about. So let's …
Eriesense: First off, why is life insurance worth talking about?
Bob: I have some personal reasons about why it matters to me, but really, it's because it's important. Anything can happen in life. Just talk to someone who's had a kidney transplant or heart condition and tried to apply for life insurance. It's ironic. The people who truly understand the value of life insurance are the people who sometimes can't get it.
Regardless of your medical situation, you should always apply to see if you qualify.
Eriesense: You mentioned personal reasons …
Bob: My family's been in insurance for 50 years, but back when my dad was younger, and before life insurance was a common thing, his brother died of a heart attack. He was only 40, and things were pretty difficult for my aunt and their six kids. It was really unexpected—my uncle ran the Boston Marathon a week or two earlier and appeared to be the healthiest of all his brothers.
Eriesense: That's really sad. Do you find that's why people don't want to talk about life insurance?
Bob: It can be. A lot of people think life insurance is about mortality. But, even after telling you that story, the reality is, it isn't just about death. It's about your finances, too. If your financial future is important and your family is important, life insurance should be important.
Eriesense: How does it tie into your financial future?
Bob: Well, it's something that's going to take care of your family in those unfortunate circumstances. But there are also forms of life insurance, especially the universal life series, that are great if someone wants to use cash value to fund education or do different things. So, if those sadder circumstances don't happen, you still get a financial benefit from the policy.
Eriesense: But in a tough economic climate, is life insurance really affordable?
Bob: Today, most families depend on two incomes. If things are already tough, just think how difficult it would be to maintain your lifestyle if one spouse dies. Also, the forms of life insurance that help accrue cash value are a great way to save, and that's an opportunity in today's economy.
Eriesense: As an insurance Agent, how do you practice what you preach?
Bob: I have term insurance and two forms of permanent insurance (Universal Life and Whole Life). I also have a guaranteed interest rate annuity. All of these are through Erie Family Life. I review my policies annually, and I've made modifications over the years. I'll continue updating my plans at certain life stages—when I buy a house, get married, have children and retire. As life changes, so do my life insurance needs.
To hear more about life insurance or to have a conversation, call your ERIE Agent to see which type of life insurance might be right for you.

Tuesday To Saturday From 05:00 PM To 10:00 PM Sunday From 05:00 PM To 09:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Albany
Romantic, good chocolate souffle – My wife and I love going there. The waiting is not too long, but I would highly recommend to make reservation. The food is not heavy and portions are small, focusing on quality instead of quantity. It feels pretty authentic and the atmosphere is warm and romantic. Finally, if you like chocolate, try their chocolate souffle, it's pretty good and the price is reasonable.
Good Food & a nice date place – I would recommend this restaurant for the food. We liked the augural salad with candy pecan, pear, & goat chesse. Highly Recommend the risotto and the chocolate souffle. My fresh pasta with duck was okay.
Service was OK, but we dont really mind. We actually do not like the waiters always come by and check on us, so this place gives a peaceful & romantic atmosphere for two of us. We got seat right away but it took the waitress almost 10 minutes to come to order our drink & food. We did get bread pretty quick, so we had something to munch on while we looked at the menu. It was a weekday night, so there were only 2 waiters, and I think it is understandable. It was my birthday so the waitress ordered the chocolate souffle for me at the very beginning and it came with a candle. It was nice. Is it true that nowadays no restaurants will give out free dessert to the birthday people anymore? But I will definitely go back for the souffle and try other food on the menu.
A Great Italian Restaurant!!! – Mangia, Mangia is a great high-end Italian restaurant. If you're looking for cheap eats, theres plenty of other places.
The staff's friendly and knowledgable. Special requests? no problem! The service was fantastic when I went with a group of 12 including two children. Everyone had fun!
I've been a customer 3 years and noticed Mangia,Mangia's loyal customer following. Whenever I visit, The owners know most everyone coming in by name and go out of thier way so they feel appreciated.
If you visit and have a suggestion, fill out the comment card. The owners read and take them to heart. I suggested the restaurant open on Sunday nights again. Within two weeks, the restaurant was open Sundays!
If I had a bad experience I would talk to the owner instead of just posting to a web page. It's unfair and doesn't give them a chance to correct perceived problems.
Wonderful, just wonderful! – Mangia Mangia is one of my two favorite small, unpretentious Italian Restaurants in the bay area (the other being Ernesto's in the City.) We eat here on an average of two or three times a month and have never failed to find the hospitality, food or service to be anything short of excellent. The list of special's and the regular menu are blessed with dishes both creative and perfectly prepared. The wait staff is attentive and very knowledgable, particularly about the small but excellent selection of reasonably priced Italian table wines on the list. You will hear people rave about the chocolate souffle but, read my lips, go for the sabayone. Made fresh for each order it is so light and delicate as to defy adequate description.
A Gem in Albany – Mangia Mangia is a warm, family-run, Italian oasis on San Pablo Avenue in Albany. We have been going there for years and have always been delighted by the warm service, delicious food and inviting atmosphere. The chocolate souffle alone is worth a trip. As a vegetarian, I have always found great options and the soups are especially good. I highly recommend Mangia Mangia, especially for a romatic dinner with your sweetie!
Editorial Review – Northern and southern Italian cuisine showcasing pastas and entrees such as veal and grilled salmon. Catering is available.
Love Mangia Mangia! – We are always happy with the excellent food and service at this restaurant and it keeps us coming back!
Why spend your hard-earned money here? – We were ignored by the maitre d' when we entered. We weren't even acknowledged. I smelled trouble. Got seated after 5 minutes 'cuz we had a reservation. Waiters passed by many times, still no service. 10 minutes later, a sympathetic looking waiter came and we got to order. 1 hour later, all other tables were already working on their desert menu. We still had no food, no one was refilling our empty waters. Our "nice" waiter kept avoiding our stares. Still NO FOOD. Called him over, he said our dishes take longer. Went to check with the chef who cooks in open view. Chef's reaction was to give US a dirty look! We left. No chef or waiter had a smile at anytime. If they don't enjoy what they do, they should get out of the "service" business. Save your money. Take it to people who enjoy what they do.
We had a great anniversary dinner – Mangia has a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's small, but cozy. We arrived early, so seating was not a problem. Good food, good company, good atmosphere. Mangia is a gem, located near other family-run businesses. I can't wait to go back.
Just OK – The hostess was completely rude when bypassed us, with no acknowledgement, to greet the people who had arrived behind us whom she knew. Continuing to ignore us, she seated the people behind us even though their entire party had not yet arrived. Once we were seated, the evening improved. The service staff was good. Food was good but not great and alot more expensive than I had expected. Most entrees are over $17, salads and appetizers are near $10. Nicely decorated but wouldn't call it romantic - too noisy. No kids menu but will prepare a small bowl of pasta for them. However, the tube pasta that my daughter had was pretty bad (tasted old) and the cream sauce comparable to package mixes I make at home. Osso Bucco just ok and mussels very good. Overall an ok restaurant but not on my list of revisits.

Prepared Statement of Ranking Member Chuck Grassley
Senate Judiciary Committee Executive Meeting
Caitlin Joan Halligan
Nominee to be United States Circuit Judge for the District of Columbia
Wednesday, March 10, 2011
Nominations to the D.C. Circuit deserve special scrutiny. Many view this court as the second in importance only to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit hears cases affecting all Americans. It is frequently the last stop for cases involving federal statutes and regulations. As we all know, Judges who sit on this court are frequently considered for and have been elevated to the Supreme Court. So there is a lot at stake with nominations to this court.
This seat, to which Ms. Halligan is nominated, became vacant with the elevation of John Roberts as Chief Justice of the United States in September 2005. Peter Keisler was first nominated for the seat in June of 2006.
His nomination stalled in committee in both the 109th and 110th Congress. Mr. Keisler was eminently qualified to serve on that court. He had a distinguished academic and professional record. His public service included serving as Acting Attorney General. Despite his qualifications, Mr. Keisler waited 918 days for a committee vote, which never came.
At the time of his hearing Democrats objected to even holding a hearing for the nominee. One of my Democrat colleagues on this committee summarized the threshold concerns. He stated:
"Here are the questions that just loom out there: 1) Why are we proceeding so fast here? 2) is there a genuine need to fill this seat? 3) has the workload of the DC Circuit not gone down? 4) should taxpayers be burdened with the cost of filling that seat? 5) does it not make sense, given the passion with which arguments were made only a few years ago, to examine these issues before we proceed?"
I have not heard these concerns expressed by my colleagues on the other side with respect to the nomination that is before us now. But that does not mean that these issues have gone away. I have great concern about the need to fill existing vacancies on the D.C. Circuit. Senator Sessions and I recently sent a letter to Chief Judge David Sentelle, concerning caseload statistics over the last five years. On February 23, 2011, we received his response indicating that he had directed the Clerk of the Court to promptly obtain that data and provide it to us.
While we have not received a final response, statistics from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts show that caseloads of the D.C. Circuit have decreased markedly over the last several years. This decrease is evident in both the total number of appeals filed and the total number of appeals pending. Specifically, the total number of appeals filed in the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decreased by over 14 percent between 2005, when 1,379 appeals were filed, and 2010, when 1,178 appeals were filed. Meanwhile, with a smaller court, more appeals were terminated during this period. The total number of appeals pending was reduced from 1,463 appeals to 1,293 appeals. This is a decrease of nearly 12 percent.
The workload decline is also demonstrated in the per panel and per judge statistics. Filings per panel and filings per judge show a decline of nearly 7 percent during this period, as well. Pending appeals per panel dropped over 9 percent. Interestingly, the D.C. Circuit ranks last among the circuit courts in 2010 in this category. That means it has the lightest workload, per panel.
Given the reduced workloads, we should be having a discussion on reducing the staffing for this court, not filling a vacancy. This seat is not a judicial emergency; in fact, there is an argument to be made that this seat is unnecessary. With our massive debt and deficit, why should we spend any resources to fill the seat? I cannot justify that expenditure.
Nevertheless, the majority has determined to bring this nomination forward for consideration. As I have stated, we must carefully review the qualifications of nominees to this court. This committee has multiple precedents establishing a heightened level of scrutiny given to nominees for the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. President Bush's nominees – Miguel Estrada, John Roberts, Tom Griffith, Brett Kavanaugh, Peter Keisler, and Janice Rogers Brown – all had a difficult and lengthy confirmation process. This included delays, filibusters, multiple hearings, and other forms of obstruction.
I am not suggesting that course of action be repeated, but I would argue for a rigorous review of the nominee. Such a review raises substantive and serious concerns about Ms. Halligan's qualifications for appointment as a Circuit Judge.
Ms. Halligan was a member of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York's Committee on Federal Courts when it published a February 6, 2004 report entitled "The Indefinite Detention of 'Enemy Combatants' and National Security in the Context of the War on Terror." That report argued there were serious constitutional concerns with the detention of apprehended terrorists in military custody and went on to conclude that terrorists should, by and large, be tried in civilian courts. Although she has tried to distance herself from that report, she did not abstain from it. Nor did she take any action to repudiate the report either before her nomination or before her hearing was held.
Ms. Halligan was also a member of the New York State Bar Association's Special Committee on the Civil Rights Agenda when it published an October 2008 report entitled "Steps Toward A More Inclusive New York and America," discussing a number of issues, including the death penalty. The report specifically emphasized the issue of race in the context of death penalty policy, stating that "[t]here are significant disparities in every state capital system, particularly in regard to the race of the murder victim. Little has been done to change these disparities and identify the cause." Discussing the work of its Capital Jury Project, the report stated "[t]he analysis thus far indicates that the race of individual jurors and the overall racial composition of juries has a substantial impact on the sentencing decision, especially in cases that involve a black defendant and white victims." Ultimately, the report recommended that "the death penalty should not be reinstated in New York at this time."
On May 5, 2003, Ms. Halligan gave a speech at a Law Day celebration in White Plains, New York revealing her role in State lawsuits attempting to hold handgun manufacturers liable for criminal acts committed with handguns. The speech primarily concerned the Supreme Court's recent preemption jurisprudence, but Ms. Halligan also commented on then-pending legislation. The then-pending Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was subsequently enacted by Congress, to address nuisance lawsuits against handgun manufacturers.
In her speech she stated, "[i]f enacted, this legislation would nullify lawsuits brought by nearly 30 cities and counties –including one filed by my office—as well as scores of lawsuits brought by individual victims or groups harmed by gun violence . . . . Such an action would likely cut off at the pass any attempt by States to find solutions – through the legal systemor their own legislatures – that might reduce gun crime or promote greater responsibility among gun dealers." Ms. Halligan also stated that "[her] office [as Solicitor General] ha[d] employed similar strategies in using federal environmental laws long left unenforced by federal agencies to require power plants to cut harmful emissions."
I am concerned that Ms. Halligan has not been totally forthcoming with this committee in regard to her anti-gun stance. When asked in written questions whether she believed there is a basis in the law for liability of gun manufacturers, Halligan deflected merely noting that:
"At the time [I gave the speech], the Attorney General [of New York Eliot Spitzer] was pursuing a common law action against a number of gun manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. That lawsuit was dismissed on legal grounds by a New York State intermediate appellate court. In light of the New York state court's decision, there is no basis in New York law for holding firearm manufactures liable for crimes in which a handgun is used. I am not familiar with the laws of any other state or federal law, and have no basis for an opinion regarding any such claims that might be brought in other jurisdictions."
I have difficulty squaring this response with statements made in briefs she filed, which suggest she had some familiarity with the laws of other states and the federal government. For example, in arguing that PLCAA violates the principles of federalism, she stated: "state legislatures across the country have addressed the alleged problem of civil liability suits brought against the gun industry. In response to this perceived problem, approximately 30 state legislatures have adopted legislation similar to the [PL]CAA, limiting in various ways the availability of civil remedies for alleged torts committed by members of the gun industry." Her brief also referenced the district court's opinion, which specifically describes the laws of other states.
I would note the concerns expressed by both the National Rifle Association as well as the Gun Owners of America. The NRA wrote, in part, "Our opposition is based on Ms. Halligan's attacks on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Specifically, she worked to undermine the [PLCCA] …. This bill was an essential protection both for the Second Amendment rights of honest Americans and for the continued existence of the domestic firearms industry as a supplier of arms for our nation's defense."
The Gun Owners of America also expressed their unequivocal opposition to the nomination. They stated, "Given Halligan's admitted involvement in New York's legally specious, politically motivated efforts to bankrupt gun manufacturers through frivolous litigation, Halligan has proven to us that she places liberal political activism above fealty to the law."
I ask consent to insert into the record letters from these organizations expressing their opposition to this nominee.
Ms. Halligan may have further indicated an activist view of the legal system when she stated that "courts are the special friend of liberty. Time and time again we have seen how the dynamics of our rule of law enables enviable social progress and mobility."
The record is clear, and well-documented, that Ms. Halligan has a record of advocating extreme liberal positions on constitutional issues. She authored an informal opinion on behalf of Attorney General Spitzer regarding New York's Domestic Relations Law (DRL), invoking a theory of an evolving Constitution when she went on to raise potential constitutional concerns:
"[t]he question of whether the DRL authorizes and permits same-sex marriage must be analyzed in light of an ongoing and rapidly shifting debateabout whether it is constitutional to deny eligibility for marital status to same-sex couples."
As New York's Solicitor General, Ms. Halligan was responsible for recommending to Attorney General Spitzer that the state intervene in several high profile Supreme Court cases, and filed amicus briefs that consistently took liberal positions regarding the Constitution. These included cases on abortion, affirmative action, immigration, and federalism.
While many of these were cases in her role as Solicitor General of New York, she has similar cases in her private practice. She co-authored an amicus brief on behalf of "Constitutional, Criminal Procedure, and other legal scholars" in Al-Marri v. Spagone, 129 S. Ct. 1546 (2009), arguing that the Authorization for Use of Military Force did not authorize the seizure and indefinite military detention, without criminal trial, of a Lawful Permanent Resident alien who allegedly conspired with Al-Qaeda to execute terror attacks on the United States.
Mr. Chairman, I will have much more to say regarding this nomination, should it proceed to the Senate floor. I hope it doesn't get that far. Frankly, I would be surprised if a number of my colleagues on the other side don't end up expressing their concerns to the Majority Leader. I would think, given her record, many Democrats would prefer to not have to face a vote on this nomination.
Suffice it to say, there are numerous concerns regarding the nominee's judicial philosophy and her approach to interpreting the Constitution. I do not believe that she will be able to put aside her long record of liberal advocacy and be a fair and impartial jurist. Those concerns, coupled with the facts regarding the D.C. Circuit Court's workload, lead me to oppose this nomination.

The Associated Press
Keith Olbermann dreaded that he'd be remembered as the guy who rose to stardom at ESPN then left less than amicably.
In this photo taken Jan. 13, 1996, and provided by ESPN Images, ESPN on air personality Keith Olbermann poses for a photo on the "SportsCenter" studio set in Bristol, Conn. Olbermann, who rose to prominence as a "SportsCenter" anchor from 1992-97 before one of several contentious departures that have marked his career, is rejoining ESPN to host a late-night show, the network said Wednesday, July 17, 2013. (AP Photo/ESPN Images, Rick LaBranche)
"I don't want that to be in the obituary, flatly," he said on a conference call Wednesday.
So now he's returning to the company as a late-night host, insisting that, this time, a gig won't end badly.
Olbermann expressed gratitude for "this chance to put a different ending on the story of my relationship with ESPN."
"We are indelibly intertwined," he said. "I know that we can't go back and undo everything that happened 20 years ago in those environs. But I would like to do my best to correct as much of it as I can. I appreciate the fresh start. We'll see how much success I can get in that way, and how much success I can get in the way of the show.
"But I'm going to do my damnedest for both."
"Olbermann," which premieres Aug. 26, will generally air at 11 p.m. ET Monday-Friday on ESPN2, depending on live event coverage on the channel. Executives hope the show can exploit the ratings boost from the frequent live event lead-ins.
Olbermann's new ESPN offering will often air opposite his old one, "SportsCenter" on the main ESPN network. The company has found over the years that broadcasting concurrent programming on its various channels expands its overall audience.
And starting next month, ESPN will face competition in the 11 p.m. slot from new cable channel Fox Sports 1's nightly highlights and analysis show.
"We're happy to compete," ESPN President John Skipper said. "Clearly the timing of some of what we're doing is intended to put us in a competitive position."
"Olbermann," based in New York City, will weave together commentary, interviews, highlights, panel discussions. The host hinted that some segments may be "evocative" of those from previous gigs.
But no politics.
"If I wanted to go and do politics, I'd still be doing politics," he said. "This clearly is something else."
Olbermann said he had no content clause in his contract, but that didn't matter — he's signed on to do a sports show. Skipper said politics — or pop culture — would slip on when that intersected with sports.
Olbermann's last two politically oriented jobs didn't end well either. After eight years as a prime-time host at MSNBC, he quit abruptly in January 2011. He later joined Current TV but lasted a year before he was taken off the air; he would go on to file a lawsuit, which was settled out of court.
The 54-year-old Olbermann made his name with his catchphrases and sardonic tone as a "SportsCenter" anchor from 1992-97. But his stint ended amid harsh words and clashes with management over his right to do outside work. He was suspended briefly for not seeking permission to record public service announcements.
"I could apologize a thousand times. We could get everybody that ever took offense at anything I did and bring them all into one place — we'd probably need Yankee Stadium. I could get out on the field and point to everybody: 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,'" Olbermann said.
"But practically speaking," he added, "particularly for those people who aren't sure, all that's going to make a difference is how I conduct myself."
Olbermann said he started thinking about a way to reunite with ESPN even before he left, noting that he later worked for ESPN Radio.

The 5 Worst Halloween Costumes for Kids
You know the scariest thing about Halloween? Forget the crazy Halloween décor that some folks display in front of their homes. What really gives me the heebie-jeebies are these terrible, totally inappropriate Halloween costumes for kids. Sorry, but my daughter is never going to dress up as a Pretty Woman hooker (you hear that Toddlers and Tiaras mama?), and my son as a mass murderer is never going to be okay with me. Yeah, I'm square like that.

Idle Leases - Or Addled Minds?
Senator Jeff Bingaman, Congressman Nick Rahall, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress who oppose producing more American oil are in a bind.
They know voters are hurting from high gas prices and overwhelmingly want the government to allow more American oil production.
But they cant side with the American people and risk upsetting their left-wing base.
So they needed a way to make us think they support more drilling
while effectively preventing us from ever drilling a single new well.
They think theyve found a solution: a proposed use it or lose it law on federal leases for energy exploration. Bingaman, Rahall and fellow drilling opponents accuse the oil industry of sitting on 68 million acres of non-producing leased land. They want to force energy companies to use this leased land within ten years or lose all exploration and drilling rights.
America can only hope the proposed law is Bingaman and Rahalls clumsy attempt at political jujitsu. The alternative is that the politicians in charge of committees that determine US energy policy are confused and ludicrously disconnected from reality.
First, lease agreements already require that leased land be used in a timely manner. The 1992 Comprehensive Energy Policy Act requires energy companies to comply with lease provisions, and explore expeditiously, or risk forfeiture of the lease. So the Bingaman-Rahall solution effectively duplicates current law.
Second, and more disturbingly, Bingaman and Rahalls groundless accusation and proposed legislation rely on the absurd assumption that every acre of land leased by the government contains oil. Obviously, thats not the case.
The truth is, finding oil is a long, complex, cumbersome, expensive process. It starts with an idea about what kinds of geologic structures are likely to hold this vital resource. Based on that idea, companies purchase leases: agreements that allow them to test their ideas, and hopefully find and produce oil and gas from leased properties.
Then geologists look at existing data and conduct seismic, magnetic and geophysical tests of the leased areas. They create detailed 3-D computer models of what subsurface rock formations look like, and whether there might be any traps that could hold petroleum.
Most of the time, all this painstaking, expensive initial analysis concludes that the likelihood is too small to justify drilling an exploratory well, since the cost of a single well can run $1-5 million onshore, and $25-100 million in deep offshore waters.
Only one of three onshore wells finds oil or gas in sufficient quantities to produce it profitably; in deep water, only one in five wells is commercial. Thus, only a small percentage of the leased acres end up producing oil.
This is important because it means most of those 68 million acres Bingaman and Rahall want to force oil companies to drill actually dont have enough oil to make it worth drilling. Either they know that, and are trying to deceive us; or they dont know it, because they havent done their homework.
Third, if a commercial discovery is made, more wells must be drilled, to delineate the shape and extent of the deposit. Production facilities and pipelines must be designed, built, brought to the site and installed. Only after oil or gas is actually flowing does the lease become producing.
In one example, Shell Oil and its partners leased an area in 7800 feet of water 200 miles off the Texas coast. They spent five years exploring and evaluating the area, punched several dry holes, and finally drilled a discovery well in 2002. Three appraisal wells (at $100 million apiece) confirmed a major field, and in 2006 the company ordered a huge floating platform and pipeline system that will initiate production in 2010. Total investment: $3+ billion.
Thats hardly sitting on their leases. But those leases will be non-producing until 2010. Clearly, a use it or lose it law will do nothing to change these hard realities.
Further complications often stymie energy companies from obtaining and using leased land.
Every step in the process must be preceded by environmental studies, oil spill response plans, onsite inspections, and permits.
The process takes years, and every step is subject to delays, challenges and litigation.
